FAMILY DECIDES WHAT I EAT FOR 24 HOURS - I HAVE NO CONTROL - THIS WAS VERY HARD

MY FAMILY DECIDED WHAT I ATE FOR 24 HOURS AND IT WAS SOO FUN!
I had no idea what they would choose, but I was definitely not disappointed!
Satara chose a very big fear for dinner, and it was sooo hard but so amazing and I can't believe I deprived myself of that divine meal for so long!
What was your favourite meal or snack I ate today?

You used to take forever to explain something. The malnutrition truly showed in brain fog. Now you sound so clear and determined. You have so much strength. Never go back to the place you were. Keep walking into this path 💕

[@rogat9775]

I love your mum she’s so supportive and lovely

[@elzani6744]

RoGat SAME! SHE IS THE GREATEST!

[@runningrigert]

Agree!

[@Juwlz]

@@elzani6744 I am literally a adult but your mom seems to sweet, if shes interested in adopting a fully grown American, let me know😆😉 I know you don't use this channel anymore but I only recently discovered you and wanted to watch your journey. Youve done so well and look so happy. Im also glad to know im not the only person who would cry and beg to go home when in the hospital 😂 i drove my doctors absolutely insane.

[@LisaCarmen92]

That was a good challenge for you, you should do that more often allowing someone else to portion control for you etc is a big step. X

[@BreeSnow777]

your dad sounded so happy when you said “that’s why people are grumpy when they don’t have enough food” it’s amazing to see you progress ❤️

[@onlyme7308]

Outside of your comfort zone, that’s where the magic happens. So true. Well done Flower xx

[@hannakurimoto-fischer7600]

I’d love to see a challenge where you eat a whole meal or food without talking through it or saying that you haven’t eaten it for a long time or asking how it tastes etc, but honestly I’ve never felt so happy for someone being able to beat their eating disorder no matter how strong it has gotten, lots of love from New Zealand ❤️

[@nataliaspamer9745]

I get what you mean, it's something everyone with anorexia seems to do, but I think it's interesting to see that because she is literally explaining to herself how irrational she was before recovery.

[@b4mbi4000]

You seem a bit passive aggressive. Maybe, I just misunderstood your comment, haha.

[@jisooyahsarmy9202]

You have mich more colour in your face♥️ It looks so happy♥️

[@AngelicasRecovery]

•JISOOYAHS ARMY• I agree, that’s the first thing I noticed.

[@elzani6744]

•JISOOYAHS ARMY• ahhh that is so awesome! 😄

[@jisooyahsarmy9202]

Elzani Thank you really!😭♥️ My friend starts to recover since I showed her your videos!♥️♥️

[@jenniferwilliams5834]

When your dad said exactly! He sounded so proud of you for realizing that it was so cute 😭

[@finkpanik]

You did amazing Elzani! If it doesn’t stress you out too much, you could hand over control of your food more often - those “new” foods (and portions) will soon become the norm and no longer seem like dangerous uncharted territory! P.s. is Mumzani aging backwards? She’s looking youthful AF!

[@hippymama100]

Seriously, Mumzani is FABULOUS!

[@emilywilliams3385]

Elzani you are a glowing superstar! You go girl can’t wait to see more progress xx

[@elzani6744]

THE WHITTY POET thank you!!! I can’t wait either haha! ❤️

[@rb6006]

I can see your big blue eyes smiling all the time.. that's the real goal! Ps. Love the British accent, I can understand almost everything even if I'm Italian (you say lasagna in the right way! 😂) Baci bella keep going ❤️🇮🇹

[@katerijayne2668]

R B I think her eyes are more green than blue...my first thought when I discovered her channel was how gorgeous her eyes were☺️

[@Chloedeegerz]

Elzani try having butter on your hot crossed buns, it’s sooo nice! Especially with the chocolate ones!xxx

[@mysticmaisie3595]

I love how passionate your mum is about seeded bread :')

[@pipsclicks]

Would love to see you doing the “ordering what the person in front orders”

[@wasisabi7439]

Pippa but also making sure she would eat enough, as it can be difficult at this challenge. She's still underweight, but otherwise I would love the challenge, too❤️

[@burnedflowers141]

Elzani wouldn't have been able to she panics about unexpected food.

[@amystubby]

Lovely. So good to see you lookimg so happy and engaged. It is an every day thing. And part of it is finding a way to make the rules work FOR you instead of against. You are doing that by challenging yourself and tearing down the "false" rules you have created arbitrarily. Such hard work and you are doing it!!

[@ilikeyoutube836]

I am beyond impressed. You would have been unwilling or just unable to do this not that long ago. You have come so far Elzani. You gave up control and enjoyed it, and you didn't even seem that nervous about it. GREAT JOB!!

[@mccallumjc1]

Elzani you should be very proud of yourself for eating everything your family decided for you to eat! You are looking so bright and pretty! I think good Food is a beauty therapy! Continue with the food eating beauty therapy and you'll be more than healthy but stunning!!💗

[@hollylaunce5529]

I lived in Exeter while you would have been inpatient. The only ones admitted were middle/upper class. Glad you got help, hope you can use your power to get help for the lower working classes. I’ve had to work since I was 13yo and getting no help for any mental health as they said I’m ‘too intelligent as I have a degree’. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!!!!! Now I’m homeless because my mum says I ‘sleep too much for not eating enough and sleeping too much’. So glad you can see how lucky you are and recovering despite working and getting myself through uni. Started working through no choice and I’m now nearly 31 x

[@amberfarndon7493]

keep going angel you’re doin amazing sweetie we all rooting for u x x

[@elzani6744]

Amber Farndon ahhhh thank you!! ❤️

[@JacksonReacts357]

Totally agree she's looking lovely xx

[@amberfarndon7493]

thank you for your reply! been watching from the start. and I just love to see your progress. I’m sure you inspire so many people and save peoples lives by doing this!!! proud ❤️

[@cathyrichardson6894]

I see such a difference since I started watching!! You are doing amazing!! ☺️

[@valentinamortiz7998]

you and your mum are the BEST duo hahaha you make me laugh a lot. Great challenge!!! You made it! I hope i can do it someday

[@uncledavid1776]

You and your sister are so pretty OML

[@ammoniteashley6408]

You should look into the 5 second rule! 🖐 Basically if you have an instinct to act on a goal, you have only 5 seconds to physically move your body before your brain kills it ⏳ ⏰ This has helped me with some of my fears and I wonder if it can help you sometime too 💕

[@aristahenriot7450]

You are glowing and you can see the excitement in your eyes. Be really proud of yourself xxxxx

[@Kloetenhenne]

I loved seeing you get so excited about finally eating lasagna! Youre doing so well!

[@chloejade9745]

She’s smashed that wasn’t even smelling the food before eating it!! Well done smashing it girl keep going 💕

[@sarataylor4884]

I have been trying to get the courage to eat lasagna for a few months. I have gone to several different Italian restaurants for different occasions and pick something “safer” then I feel disappointed and dissatisfied. So frustrating! This encouraged me! Great job!

[@Caittieful]

I love when you said "it's her favourite meal and I bet it's going to be mine now" that is such a huge step in your thinking! You should be so proud of yourself. Keep on going, keep on pushing.

[@amycuster7383]

I love watching you and your mom together, and your Mom is such a sweetheart. Stay strong! I will add you to my prayer list.

[@amyevans5273]

You are such a very sweet and strong girl. I’ve seen some of the comments on earlier videos and while I believe everyone has your best interests at heart and mean well, the comments can sometimes feel mean or discouraging (questioning or doubting things you do). You are so brave to keep pushing yourself and putting yourself out there! You and your family know best, keep up the good fight and know you are an inspiration to many people wanting to also get well. 💛

[@ellieelizabete2508]

I wish my mom was that suportive as yours... maybe then my recovery wouldn’t get into depression :( But I’m so happy for you!

[@leabell5763]

My mum was the same she often would get angry out of frustration, it's taken a long time even still struggling I now get in with my mum, I hope you will be able to one day as well. Sending hugs 🤗

[@ellieelizabete2508]

Em R my mom forced me to eat. All the time. Just like “just eat! Where is the problem???” And I told her- if I get just fat nothing’s gonna be better... I started overeating too much. And now I don’t know even what to do anymore.... I’m over weight... and sad. And thinking stupid things.

[@niniguy997]

I totally understand !my mom didn't even understand how eating disorder feels or works so she would just get mad and yell sometimes say that she wishess she had normal kids(I've an ed,anxiety and depression and my sister struggles with ocd) but I won't deny that other times she treated me with fun and jokes to make me eat which was nice . but I am doing much better now although I had to do s lot of recovery all on my own but you can do it!!surround yourself with postivity and work on changing your mindset and just stay strong dear!!you can do this and I believe in you and support you💗🌼💖

[@suzannecrowe7775]

Elizabete Marta ~ oh darling girl... I’m so sorry that your mama hasn’t given you the support you need. I’m a mother of a 17 year old, and I know how tricky it can be sometimes to say and do the right thing. As parents, we get scared, and sometimes that comes out in anger and , or frustration. If you’re not in therapy, perhaps give that a go... I have to remind myself all the time to soften my delivery... to use my words carefully. Let your mother know that you need her support, and be specific with how she can help. Tell her what you need. Sometimes us parents are just dumb🤓 and we need direction! And please, dear girl, if you are feeling unsafe, if your thoughts are turning dark, please, please find a trusted adult to speak with. Never give up, sweetie, and always remember that life can be so beautiful ; it’s hard, yes... but it’s beautiful 💗💗💗

[@jordanprince2331]

Unfortunately I have no advice except to say I feel you and I am in the same boat. I was told that we have to accept that we may not be able to receive what we need from our parents, but we can find that in other people in our lives

[@joshealthycupboard9336]

Porridge is my favourite thing ever with banana, almond butter and loads of nuts and seeds or homemade granola is so good and easy to make!!

[@georgiaseales6036]

Look at that lovely personality shining through ! Your doing great

[@MamaRoseto8]

My biggest fear foods: B: overnight french toast covered in carmelized bananas S: large bowl of crispy granola cereal covered in yogurt L: grilled cheese sandwich (made the American way 😁) with chips S: bagel covered in cream cheese and jam D: lasagna or baked macaroni and cheese with garlic butter bread S: ice cream on top of a brownie with caramel sauce S 2: scrambled egg ham and cheese grilled sandwich That would be an entire day of fear foods. Pizza is another one that is scary.

[@marystephens1994]

Mel L that sounds incredible! I bet you could do it if you put your mind to it!!

[@MamaRoseto8]

Maybe one day...I haven't even started regularly incorporating grains or sugar yet.

[@emmanikola5021]

YOU GO GIRL! You’re soo cute and charismatic omg! I hope u re having an amazing day! ❤️ a lots of love from Poland!

[@williene2]

So brave and good of you to do this. So proud!

[@elzani6744]

[@Jessica-5827]

This is brilliant well done. I feel like I'm part of your family especially when you and your wonderful mum are sitting down at the table I feel like I'm there nattering away with you both. Your progress has been amazing recently and you push me to progress with my own recovery and not to skip meals still 🤗💕

[@kysolima]

I think I speak for everyone watching your videos, that we are so proud of you that you challenge yourself and really try your fear foods! Don't let bad thoughts bring you down, you are so much more than that. I know that right now, it can be really hard to face your fears, but one day, you'll stop worrying about those things and you'll be so happy. My best friend used to go through the same situation for 4 years, but she made it out in 2016 and she's happier than ever.

[@rudarudovic3878]

lasagna is all I live for lol. Good for you girl! I wish you all the best, and Im so happy seeing you making progress. Also your mom could pass as your sister :P

[@sierragraham7022]

You’re so pure. I am having a hard time in my recovery, and your videos are helping me so much. Proud of you!

[@denamullen340]

Damn I’m up early! 0:53. That chandelier thingy is beautiful! Your words your telling yourself on camera are beautiful, be sure to always tell yourself beautiful things. The power of your words are extraordinary and I know a lot of ppl don’t realize this. Stay positive Elzani. 💗💗

[@elzani6744]

Spotted Elephant thank you! That’s very true words are so powerful! ❤️

[@ammoniteashley6408]

[@etherealintoxicatedcanary9296]

I know how hard this is from first hand experience. I am so proud of you and your dedication to helping yourself become a happier healthy person is commendable! You’re doing amazing sweetie.

[@Turkeyinthehay]

You have a beautiful family and you're doing an amazing job at letting food be your friend. Keep on embracing new things. You can do this.

[@harmonyhope1709]

You will be an amazing person after recovery!! (your personality will develop and you will naturally find new interests and makes life choices which don't revolve around food. Trust me, I'm getting there myself with recovery too and it's so empowering and also a relief when life begins to get better!!!

[@fabfourfever674]

I'm from America and say, "Yoe-gert". 😋 I just wanted to say that you're doing so great, Elzani, and I love seeing you and your mom together. 😍 It was also nice to see your rarely-seen father. Keep it up, hon'. 😘 xx

[@greyowl15]

I’m so so proud of you! I find that pushing myself out of my comfort zone is terrifying at first but it makes life so much more enjoyable in the long run because challenging is the only way to break out of ED’s patterns. You got this!

[@kickboxingkitten7542]

It’s so nice to see you trying so many new things! You have really helped me to push myself out of my comfort zone.😊 As for cereal, Weetabix Chocolate Minis are my absolute favourites, they are so good! It’s weird but I love them when they’ve been in the milk for a while and have went soggy😂

[@leahbailey7135]

Just want to let you know that your videos are now a big part of my life. I love to watch them whilst I eat as they they really help, and help me relax. I love to watch you recover!!! Keep up the good work, I can really see you getting far in the KZbin industry!!💖xxx

[@c.h.2813]

I'm always so happy when you upload a new video. You're so so motivating, I think you have no idea how much you help people with eating disorders!! Can you maybe talk about hunger cues? This is what I'm currently struggling with..my head says I should only eat when hungry.. but I don't always know if I am? If my stomach is growling or I feel weak, I know for sure I'm hungry..but what if I'm only thinking about food? Are you always hungry for every meal/snack? lots of love x
